I actually think 4. Kadri is the only center we have past next year. No guarantees with Backs.
Also big difference in bottom six and top six. Rooney isnt long term but costco could be found money. Need two top six to push kadri down the depth chart in 2 to 3 years. So much of what the third line needs or looks like depends on what happens with Backlund.
Best case scenario in two years you have a possible top line center.
Kadri, mystery center, Backs.
Third c to replace Backlund if he isn't here, and to be mentored if he is, and you have to have something coming up in case of injury.
Hopefully wrong but just dont see anything in the pipeline that i see successful in the nhl with the possible exception of Lipinski; but again if costco isnt a just a flash in the pan this looks different again but long and short the position franchise wise is a disaster.
